No. Her sister-in-law tested positive then her brother and niece did. My wife stated showing symptoms so she got tested. My kids and I aren’t showing symptoms so we aren’t getting tested, at least not yet. Something tells me the kids will have to before they can return to school.

In SC it’s recommended to get tested 7 days after initial exposure unless you show symptoms sooner. Either way they say to quarantine for 14 days or 10 days from the date of a positive test. Because the oldest had an inconclusive test she can’t return to school until 14 days after our positive test 10 day quarantine which ended Sunday. The little one went back to school today but they had sent her K4 teacher and entire class home for 2 weeks.

Locking down would destroy the economy. It is alive now because of those that refused to lockdown.

“We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that,” he said. “If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks.”

I hope our presumed next POTUS did not say something that stupid.

@kiddiedoc or @NurseGoodVol

I’ve been prescribed a z-pack and dexamethasone. I understand the need for a corticosteroid, but why an antibiotic?

Also, it was recommended that I also take quercetin and famotidine (generic Pepcid) in addition to vitamins C, D, and zinc. Any thoughts on the quercetin and famotidine?

I would imagine the antibiotic is to prevent a secondary opportunistic infection in the lungs.
Studies show with illness there is an uptic in production of stomach acid, so it's reduced with famotadine to prevent ulcers.
Quetcetin I'm not familiar with. It has many uses. I'm not sure, maybe @kiddiedoc has experience with it.
Unless I work with an exceptional DO I usually don't see any naturopathic medicines used.
I'm glad your doctor is trying to boost your immune system though with vitamins.
How are you doing?

If this is the type about to assume power in January, then God help us all.

The z-pack was because walk in clinic. Around here, no matter the ailment, everyone that goes to walk in clinics gets a steroid (usually a shot -- more revenue) and azithromycin.

I knew azith was preferred in hospitals but it's the longer treatment, the Z-pack threw me. They are typically 5 days.

Edited for clarity.

Sounds like my college health service. Tylenol 3 and B12 was their prescription for everything from mono to a broken bone.
